Portuguese producer/DJ Luis Clara Gomes, aka Moullinex, is back with a new mixtape called “In Need Of Love”. It’s an eclectic mix of soulful house, disco, jazzy tracks and some unreleased edits from the man himself. In times like this, all we need is love.

In his own words: “In terrible times one needs to turn back to music for healing. I hadn’t recorded a mixtape in over a year, and it felt like the right moment to say something. As Gil Scott Heron said, now it’s Winter in America, and Winter is coming to the rest of the world. May we meet each other in music and celebrate togetherness. A bunch of unreleased music in here. A little edit i did just for the occasion. Sunny jams with the occasional melancholic tune.”

Aeroplane’s Vito De Luca recently dropped a new mix called “Inward Dancing Outward Thinking”, and we can’t get enough of it. The one-hour mix is “filled with music that I think is of value and that really turns me on,” according to the man himself. This one will surely make the glorious days of summer last a little bit longer. Grab it below, and enjoy the ride.

It’s time to beat the heat with Heat Beat! Just before bringing their legged punk-funk-dance XXXtravaganza to Europe, our beloved Melbourne heat beat collective NO ZU have put together this exclusive “Afterlife Eurotica” mix for La.Ga.Sta. to get us all in the right mood for the upcoming tour. Filled with choice selections, the 64-minute mixtape is a pure heater of a mix! NO ZU like to keep things shrouded in mystery, so there’s no tracklist.

Nicolaas Oogjes of the band says about the mix, “The ‘Afterlife Eurotica’ mix sums up our feelings about bringing the full-ZU-band XXXtravaganza to Europe for the first time! Sight seeing boogie, tourism funk, foreign mood rave, traveling groove hypnotics, and souvenir erotic feelings permeate throughout as they do in the collective ZU mind. Most tracks are completely fresh to me. Groove deepness that has floated around us in the Heat Beat ether from other DJ sets, from band-mates in dilapidated hostel rooms, from Melbourne community radio and from the depths of the ‘Afterlife’. Then there are a couple of ZU standards, pillars of the proto-XXX-boogie past like Parliament and Sydney’s own Severed Heads. See you this week Europe! Time 2 do the ZU with U.”

Grab the mix below, and make sure to check out the Alex Last-directed new 3D video for “Hi-Gloss, taken from their second LP “Afterlife”, out now on Chapter Music. Buy it here.

About time! Poolside, our beloved Los Angeles-based duo of Filip Nikolic and Jeffrey Paradise, are back with a great new mixtape called “Contact High” full of daytime disco goodness.
